THE BRONX - This holiday season, Bronx parents are facing the risk of unknowingly purchasing contaminated toys for their children, according to a new report released Wednesday.

The report by the Just-Green Partnership asserts that one in three toys on the shelves this year could have significant level of toxic chemicals, which are often used to substitute high-quality materials in cheaper items to ensure that the producer makes a profit.

Researchers found harmful metals like lead, cadmium and arsenic in products ranging from fashion jewelry to building blocks. Ingesting any of these chemicals could put a child?s brain function at serious risk.
